Bio::Tools::pSW - pairwise Smith Waterman object
use Bio::Tools::pSW; use Bio::AlignIO; my $factory = Bio::Tools::pSW->new( '-matrix' => 'blosum62.bla', '-gap' => 12, '-ext' => 2, ); #use the factory to make some output $factory->align_and_show($seq1,$seq2,STDOUT); # make a Bio::SimpleAlign and do something with it my $aln = $factory->pairwise_alignment($seq1,$seq2); my $alnout = Bio::AlignIO->new(-format => 'msf', -fh => \*STDOUT); $alnout->write_aln($aln);
This module is included with the central Bioperl distribution:
http://bio.perl.org/Core/Latest ftp://bio.perl.org/pub/DIST
Follow the installation instructions included in the INSTALL file.
pSW is an Alignment Factory for protein sequences. It builds pairwise alignments using the Smith-Waterman algorithm. The alignment algorithm is implemented in C and added in using an XS extension. The XS extension basically comes from the Wise2 package, but has been slimmed down to only be the alignment part of that (this is a good thing!). The XS extension comes from the bioperl-ext package which is distributed along with bioperl. Warning: This package will not work if you have not compiled the bioperl-ext package.
The mixture of C and Perl is ideal for this sort of problem. Here are some plus points for this strategy:
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with an underscore "_".
